Photos From Buddhist Child Home Orphanage

Following are photos from my recent trip to Kathmandu and Buddhist Child Home orphanage. One art project we did was making cards with handprints and having the children write a little about themselves on the cards. I will pass these cards along to those interested in supporting the children.


We also took the kids on a field trip. Here we are enjoying our "picnic" lunch-30 orders of vegetable chowmein!

Danny is a popular guest at the orphanage and seen as a big brother to all the kids, who call him "Danny Sir" in respect. He has worked on and off at the orphanage for the past 3 years.
One of the four older kids we are trying to raise money for boarding school. She wants to be a nurse someday and "help the poor people of Nepal."
Here I am on our "field trip" to a famous shrine outside Kathmandu, with two of the older girls who have grown up at the orphanage. They are both very mature, polite and intelligent young ladies who help care for their 50 younger brothers and sisters at Buddhist Child Home. They both have dreams of being a teacher and a nurse, "to help the people of Nepal."

  1. Hi Jan,
    The blog looks great. I especially like all the pictures. They really help illustrate the text.

  2. Big Salute to your good effort to make this world a better place to live in. I am a photojournalist and I would be more than just happy if I can lend my photographic expertise I have anytime to support Danny's Great Project: Hand in Nepal.
